About Side-Track Cornrows

Side-Track Cornrows are a versatile and protective braided style where cornrows are directed to one side of the head, often using a feed-in technique for a seamless, natural appearance. This style is characterized by its clean lines, which can be customized with intricate patterns or simple parts, making it suitable for various hair textures, especially types 4a to 4c and 3c.
